Actually there is an item that mine is missing - a small trim panel near where the the front passengers left foot would be - I _think_ it's where a road flare (of all things!) would be housed. I could take a pic of the lack of something if it would help? 🙂

Well it's possible that, over time, I might need every part number for my 2005 Alphard V 2.4l. But starting with that one is enough I think. 🙂

I have just bought one from https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8191128010 for 10.85 pounds including shipping to the UK. It will take a while to get here, but I guess that's the way it goes. Oh and thanks goes to Picasso for the part number - made things a lot easier 🙂

Not so far - I can't find a spare media card to try. I have some USB drives on order which I can plug into a cable I found hiding in the lowest pull-out draw in the central console. I think I will have to order an SD card to experiment with. the last time I went down this rabbit hole with my Peugeot it turned out that the best thing was to create a bunch of folders and have a max of, if I recall, 255 MP3 files in each folder. It took some trial and error to find out what worked.

Out of curiosity there seems to be a device in the last picture at around 7 on the steering wheel - what is it? I have 2004 so maybe it's standard on later models 🙂

I thought I would add a pic of part numbers that the seller gave me - the crossed out ones are for non-2004 2.4 Alphards. It might be of use to someone.

And a third question - how do I format an SD / MMC card so music is recognised? is there a max card capacity, number of folders, minimum speed etc?

Just to add to what smurf says my 19 year old 2.4l has: a near side door that can open and close automatically - there is a button on the dash and on the key fob. It can also be opened manually but the motor takes over 🙂 a drivers side door that is opened and closed manually but when closing it a motor pulls it in to the body for the last centimeter or so of travel. I would say my engine bay is similar to yours - there are loads of leaf remains on the gearbox and a slight oil trace on the nearside at the top of the engine. Quite a few minor scrapes and scratches but it all looks to have been treated with a rust stopper - looks a bit untidy but it's been handled at least. I bought mine from a camping business that was closing down.

I'm new here so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I have just bought my 2004 2.4l with camper kit and I have been looking at the entertainment system which, according to the small media cards contents, is running iGO8 (igo8-8.3.5.193799-world.EXE) and I assume it's a WinCE version. I have been able to change the time and region, though BST / daylight savings seems to elude the settings. Another of this mornings successes is re-tuning the radio defaults 🙂 My questions are: Are there any (ideally free) map or OS updates available and if so where from please? How can I change the name of the bluetooth connection from 'Car Kit 30' to something a little more useful like 'Toyota' or 'Alphard'?

Hi everyone, I have just picked up a 2004 2.4 Alphard with camper kit installed. My first drive was today from South London, where I picked it up, to Stevenage, where I live. It took me a while to work out that the camper kit had shifted but after a tweak the boards slotted in Ok. I have spent the rest of the day pouring over the various buttons and switches to see what it they all do. I was a little bemused to have the wing mirrors unfold themselves when I started the engine - a feature I wasn't expecting. I looked in the manual and found that the 'fold mirrors' button was too worn to make out the icon 🙂 I wonder how many other features I will find. It's done 167220 Km. the previous owner was a camping hire company and I have MoT and work invoices (mostly services) going back to 2018. There are some cosmetic scrape and scratches which I am not too fussed about - is there anything in particular I should check? Cheers Paul I could post some pics I have taken but I would imagine you know what one looks like :-)
